Iran Sentences Woman To 1 Year In Prison Over Trying To Watch A Volleyball Game


A 25-year-old British-Iranian woman was sentenced to 1 year in prison over trying to watch the males’ volleyball game.

In 2012 Iran banned women from watching volleyball games reportedly for the sake of their protection from lewd behaviour of male fans. Thus the actions of Ghoncheh Ghavami were interpreted as the spread of anti-regime propaganda.

international campaigns begging the court to spare her life failed.
